Dinh Comes from Behind to Double
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Quang Dinh was all-in preflop for his stack of 327,000 from the small blind, and Mario Llapi, who was seated in the cutoff, was triyng to bust him with the covering stack.
Quang Dinh: A♦9♣
Mario Llapi: A♣Q♠
Llapi's superior ace dominated Dinh. However, the K♦5♥9♦ flop catapulted Dinh into the lead with a pair of nines. Llapi was not able to improve on the 5♣ turn or J♣ river, and over half his stack had to be sent over to Dinh.
